Shutdown
Subtabs: Remote Shutdown | Thermal Shutdown | Web Server Shutdown
Under the Shutdown tab, you can:
Configure the operating system shutdown and remote shutdown options.
Set the thermal shutdown severity level to shut down your system in the event that a temperature
sensor returns a warning or failure value.
NOTE: A thermal shutdown occurs only when the temperature reported by the sensor goes above the
temperature threshold. A thermal shutdown does not occur when the temperature reported by the sensor
goes below the temperature threshold.
Shut down the Server Administrator secure port server (Web server).
NOTE: Server Administrator is still available using the Command Line Interface (CLI) when the secure port
server is shut down. The CLI functions do not require the secure port server to be running.
NOTE: The secure port server starts automatically after a reboot, so you must shut down the secure port
server every time a system starts up.
Logs
Subtabs: Hardware | Alert | POST | Command
Under the
Logs
tab, you can:
View the Embedded System Management (ESM) log or the System Event Log (SEL) for a list of all
events related to your system's hardware components. The status indicator icon next to the log name will
change from a green check mark ( ) to a yellow triangle containing an exclamation point ( ) when
the log file reaches 80 percent capacity. On Dell™ PowerEdge™
x8xx
and
x9xx
, the status indicator icon
next to the log name will change to a red X ( ) when the log file reaches 100 percent capacity.
NOTE: It is recommended that you clear the hardware log when it reaches 80 percent capacity. If the log is
allowed to reach 100 percent capacity, the latest events are discarded from the log.
View the Alert log for a list of all events generated by the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service
in response to changes in the status of sensors and other monitored parameters.
NOTE: See the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide for a complete explanation of each alert
event ID's corresponding description, severity level, and cause.
View the POST log for a list of the POST codes and their corresponding descriptions recorded during
system start-up.
View the Command log for a list of each command executed from either the
Server Administrator
home page or from its command line interface.
